If WeChat’s primary purpose was to track protestors overseas, then yeah, it should be banned. But that’s not what the app does.

I want to be clear that I’m not trying to side with anyone here - I’m just calling out a knee-jerk response that I don’t believe is actually based in fact. If there’s good evidence that Apple or the HK government is inventing evidence of misuse, I’ll happily take back what I’ve said.

My east european country has been governed by authoritarian rule which was 95% dependent on a totalitarian foreign nation state. You either don't understand what this means or are actively protecting a totalitarian dictatorship.

Isn't Waze also displaying police forces ? Also by croudsourcing information ? Why is Apple not looking into that ?
